If you have ever seen those big capped off PVC pipes that stick up out of the ground ( I don't know what they are), well I used to think that those were pipes that lead to hell and that if you ever took the cap off that fire would come out, oh yeah, and rollie pollie bugs were from hell because they were always around one of those pipes that was at my daycare.

I used to believe that there was an order to things: that there was the Earth, which was surrounded by galaxy, and surrounding the galaxy was Heaven, I imagined that there was a velvet rope (like the ones to direct ticket lines at movie theaters) cutting off the galaxy from Heaven, and that god stood at the only opening letting people in.

i used to believe that your life was a dream and when you died you would wake up as a baby and start your life again as the same person but different things would happen. for example: if you was poor then when you woke up you would become rich.
when there is a spot where the sun only shines between 2 clowds god was takeing dead people up to heaven.

I used to believe that in order to gain access to heaven, you had to read a book that included everything you had ever done, heard, seen, thought, experienced, etc. The book was several stories high, and the size of a trampoline, and you had to climb onto it to read.

I used to believe that when people died, their body literally floated up to heaven. I wondered for the longest time why I never saw dead people in the sky.

When I was about eight or nine I believed that when you die, you become the animal that you hate the most. So I would become a fish, and after that a spider, then a worm, and so on. This to make you understand every being - so that you after many many lifes wouldn't hate any animal. I also believed that after you had been every animal, you got to choose wich animal you wanted to be in your next life, and in the next, and so on.
I remember that I liked my beliefe and that it made me fell very secure and not afraid of dieing.

When i entered my teen years, i began to think that my faith in God (I'm Catholic, hope I'm not offending anyone) was dropping, and I began to think that at the end of life, you slip into a coma for the rest of eternity.

I used to believe that your soul was a millimeter thick, right under your skin, and looked exactly like you
I once asked my CCD teacher if eternal bliss in Heaven would get boring after a while.

I believed the line on your arm when you bend it meant you were reincarniated. It was when God sewed you together in your new body.
I used to think that God would carry a giant golden book around with everyone's name in it and put a little green check by the names of people who were going to heaven.
i used to believe that the end of the world would come when the devil came to take over our world, but god (who was a giant ghost-like man with a large coat that had many pockets) would come and pick everyone up who had been good, and put them in his pockets, and we would be saved. but i didn't know what happened after we were in his pockets...

I use to think if you put your ear to the ground you can hear hell down there.

When I was little, I always thought that God kept a type of scoreboard for each person on Earth. The way the scoreboard worked was that everytime you did a good deed, you would get a point for Heaven [extra extra good things gave you two points, three points max.] If you did something bad or unChristian, you would get a point towards Hell. Now, it doesnt seem that weird at this point, but this is where i dont know where my mind was. This is when the second you die, an exact replica of Jesus except super math smart adds together all your points for Heaven & Hell. Whichever side has more points is where u go. And if you died for another person (i.e. dying in a war) then you would automatically go to Heaven unless you were fighting for the bad guys.
I used to think that when you died you got to ask one, and only one question to god about anything in the world that only god would know.
I spent sleepless nights trying to decide between asking "Where did amelia airheart go?" and "so, you know that ship that emerged from the bermuda triangle without any people in it? what happened?"
Still dont know what happened to that ship in the bermuda
When I was a child, my family attended a church that frequently referred to the rapture (the miracle of being taken to heaven without having to die). But whenever I couldn't find my parents (while at a store or other crowded place), I would be terrified that the rapture had occurred and I was left behind. Years later, my friends told me they had this same fear.

I used to believe that heaven was the local church hall with rows of dead budgies on the floor covered with little white blankets. Now I know it's guinness and chocolate cake.
From my mother;
who was told that when the sky was orange at dawn it was because heaven was at war (with hell?).
[She once fled her home with a few of her sisters in tow in order to save them.]

I used to believe that if I stomped too hard on the ground, I could go through because hell was held up by a wood frame under the dirt.
